This is a history of South Australian fashion, dating from 1812 to the present day. Ninety of over 200 garments in this fascinating collection are on permanent display. Highlights include the gown worn by Lady Bonython (Mayoress of Adelaide) when presented to King George XI at court in 1939. The oldest dress (1812) was worn by Mrs George Fyfe-Angus, the wife of an early pioneer and artist. Many of the outfits were imported for Adelaide's society ladies from London or Paris.
